PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MARIKINA
Conception Uno, Marikina City
ALCULYMPICS '09
BY PROF. IRYL A. NUNGAY
One majestic afternoon, the proud City of Marikina nurtured a crowd of enthusiasts inspired to sow a landscape of friendship geared at cultivating a culture of excellence, personal vigor and triumph for both personal and professional advancement.
The City Government of Marikina and the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina hosted the 1st ALCULYMPICS themed “Towards a Dynamic Culture of Sportsmanship”. January 19-23, 2009 at the pride of the city, the Marikina Sports Park were days when no mortal could ever forget the illusion of grandeur it bestowed on earth.
It was participated by higher learning institutions whom had envisioned to be part of a greater parcel of far excel lance in the world of academe. Respectively, the Mariano Quinto Alarilla Polytechnic College, Meycauyan Bulacan, Tagaloan Community College, Misamis Oriental, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Manila, Bulacan Polytechnic College, Malolos Bulacan, Bago City College, Negros Occidental, Pamantasan ng Cabuyao, Cabuyao Laguna, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa, City of Muntinlupa, Pamantsan ng Lunhsod ng Valenzuela, Valenzuela City, Urdaneta University, Urdaneta City, Quirino Polythecnic College, Quirino Province, Laguna University, Sta.

These member institutions humbled themselves to compete with endurance to topple the stiff challenge of marginalization feed by the day to day adoration of time. The ALCULYMPICS roofed the adrenalin draining events as basketball, volleyball, badminton, arnis, chess, cheerdance and dance sports. The event was coroneted by the search for Mr. and Miss ALCULYMPICS.
At the spark of the opening ceremonies were faces in apparition when the competitors paraded to shower their mystical smiles and pride accompanied by the godly figures of the administrators, that in their most tortured village of their lives, the traces of victory will remain forever.
The Marikina Sports Park was transformed into Mt. Olympus when godly figures appeared, personages that no human kind could ever resist the radiance of their divinities. The Hon. Ma. Lourdes Carlos Fernando, Marikina City Mayor, Sec. Bayani Fernando, CMMDA Chairman, Dr. Dalisay Brawner, President, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina, Atty.

Emano, and other personas of equal importance.
ALCUYLYPICS 2009 was put into the spotlight of fame due to the unending stormy nights of the Management Committee Chaired by Prof. Marcial Angeles, of Pamatasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina.
Ending the saga of strength and power is not as jovial as the beginning, consuming the nectar of the pleasure of winning is not as sweet as the first victory, what remained after all are debts of gratitude to whom had shared the bosom of a cup of coffee that never be brewed.
